I find that antique particularly interesting as the combination of a small, shallow dish hilt with large finger rings, true ricasso, and what appears to be quite a formidable blade is unusual (at least to me). I would be very interested to know what it weighed and how it handled, and in particular if the blade is the original one for the hilt.

And Glyn, you are exactly right. Good eye That is indeed the sword I based mine on...obviously my version is much simplified. I'm afraid I don't have any more information about it than you do though...I scaled my hilt off of the full length sword photo and the overall length given in the description, but outside the basic dimension I can't speak to the original. I'd love to know the answers to those questions though...
